February 23, 201511 yr I decided it's time to build a new computer.. I'll use it mostly for FSX/P3D. My budget is around $1400 (1250€) for the whole build.. without monitor and OS which I already have. I mainly need a recommendation for CPU and graphics card but some tips for RAM, CPU cooler and other components would be also nice. I'd like to run FSX/P3D a smooth as it gets (no kidding ) for that amount of money, with capability to OC it to around 4.5GHz or more if it's possible. Any advice would be much appreciated!

February 23, 201511 yr Author Would the GTX 970 be good enough? 980 is a little bit too expensive for my budget. Tomaz Drnovsek My FSX Videos My AVSIM Gallery
February 23, 201511 yr Author What should I look for when choosing RAM? Any noticeable improvement in FSX performance with expansive RAM opposed to normal priced RAM? To OC 4790K to around 4.7GHz air cooler would be enough? Tomaz Drnovsek My FSX Videos My AVSIM Gallery
